кентибуль

Compound of кеʼй (keˀj, “wing”) +‎ -д (-ti-, possessive connector affix) +‎ буль (foot, “būlʲ”), from Proto-Ketic *kʰentʌbul (“shoulder blade”) (Proto-Yeniseian *ɢejn-ŋʷ-butɬ). Cognate with Yug кентыбул (kɛntɨbul); and partially cognate with Kott hênar (“shoulder”), Arin xinaŋ (“brachium”) and Arin xin (“shoulder”).

кеʼй is rendered as *kɛ́n in this compound, in a similar fashion to the Yug cognate. Both keˀj and kɛ́n stem from the same Proto-Ketic root, *kejn (“wing”).
